Chapter 379: You Are No Match

“Do you have a death wish, Jared?” Zachariah shouted furiously. His public taunting was a blatant threat to my authority! I must kill him today, or no one will respect me in the Warriors Alliance!

“Dad, I’ll avenge Lucy and our family!” Wilbur interjected, jumping in front of Jared and glaring murderously.

Zachariah lowered his guard, cautioning, “Be careful! This guy’s no pushover!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make him suffer a fate worse than death!” Wilbur muttered through clenched teeth, his rage burning. He longed to tear Jared limb from limb.

Zachariah leaped from the stage, taking a position beside them. Even if Wilbur failed, he could ensure Wilbur's safety.

“Let your old man handle this, Wilbur. You’re no match for me!” Jared taunted, pointing at Wilbur.

“We’ll see about that!” Wilbur yelled, charging.

A faint mist surrounded Wilbur’s fist as he channeled internal energy, creating ripples in the air as he swung.

“Whoa! The Jantz kid’s gotten powerful!” “At this rate, he’ll become an Internal Energy Master!” “The Jantz family will dominate Summerbank!”

The crowd gasped at Wilbur’s strength.

Jared sneered, stepping aside to effortlessly dodge the blow. Wilbur’s surprised pause gave Jared time to evade a second punch with a sliding movement.

Enraged, Wilbur shouted, “Fight me head-on, like a man!”

“Alright, then…” Jared replied, stopping to face Wilbur.

“Has he lost his mind? That punch could kill a bull!” “A bull? He could punch through concrete!” “Jared’s terrified!”

The crowd buzzed. Only Luke remained silent, his sharp eyes missing nothing. No one can hide their true strength from me, not even Zachariah and Phoenix. I usually avoid offense, acting as a mediator. Wilbur seems powerful, but he’s no match for Jared. Jared's strength is on a whole new level, beyond my comprehension…

Overjoyed by Jared’s stationary stance, Wilbur unleashed a more powerful blow. Just as it landed, Jared grabbed Wilbur’s fist.

Wilbur gasped, unable to move his arm; it felt like a vise. Silence fell over the crowd. No one expected such effortless ease.

Zachariah leaped, shouting, “Wilbur, watch out!”

Crack!

A sharp sound echoed as Jared crushed Wilbur’s wrist.

“Ahhhh!” Wilbur screamed, his face paling. Then, Jared’s energy surged into him.
